The Shkodra Owl

This drawing was submitted to the Peace Corps Albania newsletter, Hajde! Hajde! in 2008. It depicts a Volunteer rendition of one of the local animals, a one-eyed owl kept safely dog chained at a popular crossroads coffee bar. The owl came to be an unofficial mascot of the Volunteers living in the host city at the time (largely due to their own propogation of rumors and backstories concerning the owl's life).
